Water is a byproduct of combustion. If the proper venting of flue gases is neglected — as is so often the case, unfortunately, in our industry — water in the form of condensation triggers serious ...

In the flue gas scrubbing process, water evaporates from the scrubbing fluid as the flue gas is cooled to the adiabatic saturation temperature. Under equilibrium conditions, water must be added to the ...

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are using funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy - also known as ARPA-E - to pursue two different, but related, approaches for ...

Chemical engineers have designed a material that can capture carbon dioxide from wet flue gasses better than current commercial materials. Generally speaking, "flue gas" refers to any gas coming out ...

Power Ministry of India has proposed to dismiss or push back the deadlines for adoption of new emission norms by coal-fired power plants, saying "an unworkable time schedule" that would burden ...

Your chimney looks fine from the yard — but inspectors know better.

This multiple-part article series will discuss the basics, codes and standards, and the science behind chimneys. It will show how back drafting affects chimney performance, while explaining the ...

When coals with high moisture content are burned in a utility boiler, several percent of the fuel heat input is used to evaporate fuel moisture. This results in a higher flow rate of coal compared to ...
